RSC and Caribbean Girls Hack will be having a webinar on Thursday May 14 2020 at 7pm (local time in Trinidad and Tobago) with guest speaker Shari Chiara, COO of IBM’s Call for Code to talk about Call for Code 2020 initiative and to spur Caribbean developers/innovators to create and submit applications that impact humanitarian issues.

Call for Code asks innovators to create practical, effective, and high-quality applications based on one or more IBM Cloud™ services (for example, web, mobile, data, analytics, AI, IoT, or weather) that can have an immediate and lasting impact on humanitarian issues. Teams of developers, data scientists, designers, business analysts, subject matter experts and more are challenged to build solutions to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and climate change. This year the competition will have two tracks. One track is for solutions that help halt and reverse the impact of climate change. The second track is for solutions to mitigate the impact of global pandemics like COVID-19 on communities around the world. Winning solutions are deployed in communities that need the most help.
